Phew, it's been quite some time since I last played with Net::LDAP.
And as far as I can remember it took quite a bit of reading the POD beforehand.
So I would suggest you revisit the POD because it is all explained there how you access the returned objref of Net::LDAP::Search.
Because I have forgotten almost all I just have had a quick glance at it on search.cpan.org,
Net::LDAP::Search - Object returned by Net::LDAP search method - search.cpan.org
This class offers several accessor methods to fetch the result set.
As you went for the entries() method, this it says returns an array of Net::LDAP::Entry objrefs.
So you would have to look at this class' POD as well to know how to access the data
Net::LDAP::Entry - An LDAP entry object - search.cpan.org
Just from my very superficial exposure to the POD right now I would probably try something like this
(please, note this is a mere wild guess since I haven't even Net::LDAP installed on my surf laptop)
Code:
foreach my $entry ($mesg->entries()) {
    my @vals = grep { /staff|student/ } @{ $entry->get_value('businessCategory', asref => 1) };
    # further process @vals here
}

But please, this is a wild untested guess which probably is horribly wrong.
You just will have to consult the POD.
What I usually do to get a quick view of the deeply nested data structures I am not yet clear about
is to run my code in the Perl debugger (just invoke your script with preceeding perl -d
Then I continue (c) to the line where the result is fetched and view it in my pager by
Code:
DB<3> | x $mesg

This is most of the times far quicker to grasp then perusing the whole POD.
